Disappointed

Tin note smells very fruity. The tobacco is listed as a flake but looks more like broken flake to me. The ratings on Smokingpipes.com are pretty positive but on Tobacco Reviews are just the opposite. I didn’t enjoy the taste of this at all. Tastes like poor quality tobacco. Way better Virginia blends out there…....Read More

This blend is spiiiiiicccyyyy. Not sure how much Perique is in here but this almost tastes like Bayou Morning to me. The Virginias in here taste IDENTICAL to Orlik. It’s bizarre. Lit my pipe and tasted Orlik and I thought I was crazy until the other reviews said it. This blend is definitely not for the new smoker or the faint of heart. The prominent note here is definitely the black pepper from the Perique, with other sorts of fruitiness, natural honey-like sweetness, and a bit of grass and hay-like qualities. The tin smells of figs and raisins. The blend burns perfectly, and doesn’t seem to make my pipe too hot. Moisture content is just right for me. The blend is quite strong compared to the other VaPers I love you, but it’s a good strong! This blend has some personality, that’s for sure! She’s a sweet and spicy one! If you can sip it just right, it gets nice and sweet/smooth. 4 stars!...Read More
Great VaPer if you love perique

This is, in my opinion, a superlative VaPer broken flake. The tin note is so fruity that it’s hard to believe it is not cased with something like fig or plum essence. That delightful plummy note, which I presume is from the perique, is present throughout the smoke. It does have a nice bit of spiciness, but it does not strike me as black pepper, but rather a baking spice that goes great with the general dark fruit flavors you get. All this is on a base of sweet Virginias, that do not give off any kind of unpleasant barnyard flavors, but perhaps a sweet and pleasant grassy or hay smell. It perhaps is reminiscent of a bourbon, in the sense that it has a hint of vanilla notes and is delectably sweet. I did lose some of the flavor complexity in the bottom third of the bowl, but perhaps that is because it’s so damn humid here in South FL and I’ve had to light it a lot at the bottom. I get no tongue bite so long as I sip it slowly or use the breathe method. It stays lit a long time too, at least in my Peterson 124, which is what I smoked this tobacco in. It’s a perfect pipe for it. 4.25/5...Read More
Surprisingly good, considering

When I first got this, I was getting over a cold and my sense of smell was, for the duration of my illness, tuned differently. Sadly it was at this time when I acquired a 2 oz jar of this tobacco. I'm afraid to say it had an odor about that reminded me of things I won't mention here. Now however, my sense of smell is back to normal and I have to say I'm quite pleased with this blend. It's a bit fruity, but not in an over-bearing, aromatic way (looking at you, Erinmore). It's definitely going into the rotation....Read More
Surprisingly good VaPer.

First of all, very little similarity in taste to Orlik, by which I mean this has some, and without aging! Figs, tiny bit of pepper, sweetness, and tangy orange. What little taste Orlik has is more lemony. No figs or pepper or oranges or even much sweetness (without aging) to be found with Orlik. If you like VaPers, and tangy tobaccos, this blend is for you. Sweet and very sour tin note upon first opening. Beautiful slices that stick together for folding. Not too moist to light and stay lit, however. Average nic hit....Read More
